John Keble Church of England School is a two-form entry, happy, vibrant learning community in North West London with good transport links.

In July 2023, our Church of England inspection (SIAMs) judged us to be excellent in every area, including collective worship.

For us as a school team, we believe it is vital that our children are offered as many experiences as possible. This ensures they are inspired, engaged, and able to discover their individual talents and strengths, enabling them to flourish academically, socially, and spiritually.
